It's been an honor being apart of the PC Master Race for the last 9 years. Unfortunately my Ram decided to die when the market is too expensive. Troubleshooted all 4 RAM sticks, they are dead. I've been meaning to update my 2666 DDR4 but never got to it. Paying for my lazy consequences. It's been a fun ride. Don't know what I'll do with my spare time. I'll still be a lurker. Learn from my mistakes, upgrade/update when you can. Milk signing out. ✌️

Just to double check, are you putting the sticks back in their original slots, or are you trying them in the same slot?

[–] TheMilk 2 points 5 months ago (5 children)

At first the original. Then moved them around to slots 2 and 4, 1 and 3. Then just 2.

Ah, that's a shame. It's great that you've ruled it out, but it would have been nice to find something.

So worse case Scenario, running my rig on 8GB of RAM. Best case scenario the Ai bubble pops this week and RAM prices crash down.

So if you shut the computer down and swap the 1 ram stick out with any of the other ones using the same slot, it won't work? The one working stick works in any of the 4 slots?

[–] TheMilk 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the 1 working RAM works in every slot. The others do not. Currently testing it with my friends Rig

That makes me think your mobo or PU has to be going out. 3 ram sticks on 2 different channels can't off themselves all at once unless they were getting voltage all jacked up.
